About this ebook
When we hear the term quantum physics, the first thought that comes to our mind is Einstein and his theory of relativity. Of course, it goes without saying that there is much more to quantum physics than that. Physics is an excellent medium of explaining a million different things starting from heating a cup of coffee to gravitational pull. There is no real limit in the discipline of physics. It involves matters that are as huge as the galaxy to things as small as neutrons. This book deals with the smallest side of it, which is the branch of quantum physics.
Throughout the course of this book, you will get a much better understanding of quantum physics starting from the basic concepts to some in-depth information. You will also see a lot of math and calculus in the book since quantum physics uses many concepts from those subjects. Don't dread reading through even though it might sound dreary and difficult. I don't intend to scare you with big equations and calculations, as this book will not make you a physicist. The sole aim of this book is to simplify quantum physics for the common man, who has no idea what it entails and how it affects our everyday life.
I have put the text together in a way that should make the subject matter much simpler to understand and maybe interesting to someone who normally hates science. I assure you that by the end you will have learnt more than you normally do by just staring blankly ahead in a classroom. And if you are a curious student, you will definitely know more about quantum physics than before.
In this book you will learn:
What Quantum Physics is
Theories of Matter
Wave-Particle Duality
The Einstein-Podolsky paradox
Applications of Quantum Physics
And much much more!

Conclusion
Introduction
I want to thank you for choosing this book, ‘Quantum Physics - A Beginners Guide to How Quantum Physics Affects Everything Around Us’ and hope that you find this book informative and interesting in your quest to understand Quantum Physics and the role it plays in our everyday life.
Since you have chosen this book, it is certain that you have an interest in the field of quantum physics and look forward to understanding the concept better. For most of us, quantum physics is a complicated labyrinth that is meant for the geeks of the world; however, there is no denying the fact that the theories of quantum physics are extremely exciting.
Quantum physics as a term was not exactly a part of our daily parlance, but the Sitcom – The Big Bang Theory changed it all. When the characters in the series started to throw around big quantum theories and other scientific terms casually, a lot of us realized that quantum physics actually has a much stronger influence and role in our lives than what we actually know. I am not saying the show is the best place to start understanding quantum physics, but it can definitely be credited for making Quantum physics interesting to the layman, with no background in physics.
When we hear the term quantum physics, the first thought that comes to our mind is Einstein and his theory of relativity. Of course, it goes without saying that there is much more to quantum physics than that. Physics is an excellent medium of explaining a million different things starting from heating a cup of coffee to gravitational pull. There is no real limit in the discipline of physics. It involves matters that are as huge as the galaxy to things as small as neutrons. This book deals with the smallest side of it, which is the branch of quantum physics.
Throughout the course of this book, you will get a much better understanding of quantum physics starting from the basic concepts to some in-depth information. You will also see a lot of math and calculus in the book since quantum physics uses many concepts from those subjects. Don’t dread reading through even though it might sound dreary and difficult. I don’t intend to scare you with big equations and calculations, as this book will not make you a physicist. The sole aim of this book is to simplify quantum physics for the common man, who has no idea what it entails and how it affects our everyday life.
I have put the text together in a way that should make the subject matter much simpler to understand and maybe interesting to someone who normally hates science. I assure you that by the end you will have learned more than you normally do by just staring blankly ahead in a classroom. And if you are a curious student, you will definitely know more about quantum physics than before.
Quantum physics deals with the movement of microelements like electrons. Physicists have spent a lot of time and effort over the years in order to get this kind of in-depth knowledge of quantum physics. The branch of quantum physics is related to the smallest particles of matter or energy that exists. This is a more in-depth study than classical physics. As quantum physics has developed over the years, it has been able to explain the certain phenomenon that classical physics could not properly account for. Scientists took great interest in finding out more and correcting old norms, which were not essentially correct.
A lot of research has been and is currently being conducted in order to make quantum mechanics operational in our daily lives. For instance, if a proper quantum computer is made available to people, it will be able to solve many problems in a fraction of the time that it takes our standard computers. Such developments in the field of science are what will change the future. Quantum mechanics are also believed to be a crucial part in creating artificial intelligence. Complicated matters like national security will also benefit majorly from progress in quantum mechanics in cryptography. There are many such advantages that quantum physics can grant the world. You should learn more about it just like the scientists dedicating their lives to its growth.
Like I mentioned, this book is not meant to make you a physicist and is definitely not meant for you if you have a background in quantum physics. It intends to simplify the concept of quantum physics, which have been an enigma to the layman without a physics background. The things that you will learn in this book will definitely make you wiser in understanding how the world around us functions and the role quantum physics plays in making it work. One thing I can assure you is that by the end of the book, you will definitely feel smarter than before and will improve your general knowledge in things related to quantum physics.
Without further ado, let us take a deep dive into quantum physics and how it has a role to play in just about everything we do. I thank you once again for choosing this book and hope you find it an interesting read.
